Dog walked (4 boar encountered), house cleaned, emails replied to. Time to enjoy a few hours with this superb book (and magazine). 🧠 refresh time before a crazy busy upcoming week 🙂

It’s shocking how effortlessly cool Dan da Dan is. The music, the visuals, the incredible story and characters. Nothing quite like it.

Oh wow. Astro Bot is a masterclass in game design - and what happens when you pour your love and attention into every last tiny detail.

I don't know if we should be excited (given these are likely web games), or terrified!

Phaser Beam is the brand new renderer that powers the heart of Phaser v4. Built from scratch to pump out quads and effects at an unparalleled rate, with on-demand shader compilation and a tight focus on GPU memory. A year in full-time development and out very soon.

I play a lot of mobile games to research graphical styles, gameplay loops and level mechanics. Zynga’s Puzzles and Spells gets so much of this correct. It’s a masterclass in player progression.

The new RenderFilters and Shader support in Phaser v4 is crazy powerful. Here, we create a bilinear gradient to build a shine effect across a texture. Position, color, steps all controlled via uniforms. It's going to open up a world of features for developers. Sandbox demo phaser.io/sandbox/RB5i...

They don't make magazine covers quite like this anymore! (or, indeed, magazines at all) (follow the great @retrocomps.bsky.social for more like this)

If you're going to email/Discord me offering sponsored slots on your YouTube channel, the most important thing isn't subscribers: it's retention. If these stats aren't high, it doesn't matter how many subs you have. A sponsor slot is a waste of money if it appears after most viewers have left.

An example of really good audience retention for a YouTube video.

This six-part YouTube series focuses on re-creating the classic Pacman in Phaser. I really enjoy these kind of tutorials as you immediately think "Pacman? Easy!" and when you start to peel the layers back, you appreciate just how much magic those early devs crammed in. phaser.io/news/2024/11...

This legendary advert for WipEout was everywhere at the time. Truly iconic bit of marketing. But I was today years old when I found out the female model is (a then utterly unknown) Sara Cox

The amount of quality games being created in Phaser this year is crazy. Legion is a great example (phaser.io/news/2024/10...) as is the super-chill Mahjong at Home (phaser.io/news/2024/10...)
